“I’ll marry anyone who will take me!” Hazel declared loudly. “I don’t need love!”

“Get down!” Will hissed. “You don’t know what kind of people are lurking around in here! Talking like that might get you killed!”

Hazel Dixon thought she was putting her troubled past behind her. But when the person she thought she trusted most betrays her, she loses her head and proposes to an entire bar full of strangers. 

Enter Will Sheffield, a charming stranger who decides to take her up on her offer to save her from herself. 

He spoils her rotten without expecting anything in return and Hazel's confusion only grows. She doesn't know why he is acting this way. Or why he reminds her so much of the 'dangerous' childhood friend she thought was gone forever...

Hazel in the Demon's Den

Sheffield hadn't given any indication one way or the other but if Hazel had been that upset…there was a decent chance she was upset not only because of what she read about Thornton but what she read about her husband as well.


Would sharing this information condemn him or spare his life? Should John mention that he met her and that she had defended her husband or would it only get him killed faster?


"I never meant to upset her," he said quietly, deciding to go for it. "I wanted her to be happy. That's why I never planned to tell anybody about you. So she could keep living the life she loved."


At the very least it perplexed Sheffield. That would buy John some time to come up with a better plan.


"You're lying. How would you know anything about her? Did you have her followed?" he demanded, showing more emotion in his voice than he had this entire time.
